  • [pbem]

    Hello Everyone,

    I'd like to participate in a PBEM game...looks like there's severall well on their way, so maybe a new one?

    Here's what I propose:

    Map: Earth (I believe this is Huge), but we all know our geography and can quickly get into it
    Speed: Quick
    Players: 4 or 5 Human, the rest AI

    Optionally we could play a scaled down Terra Map (medium size) without any AI.


    I've recently finished a huge Epic Terra map, and I like the way it lays out two main land masses, one where all the players start and the other as a"new world" to colonize.

    Anyone up for it? Suggestions?

    *********************************************

    I've been looking for a possible pbem game to join, this might be the one.

    Earth map sounds good to me, and a limited number of human players keeps the turn frequency a little higher.

    Maybe go with random civs?

    Oh, and if you haven't seen this thread (I've been looking for a possible pbem game to join, this might be the one.

    Earth map sounds good to me, and a limited number of human players keeps the turn frequency a little higher.

    Maybe go with random civs?) check it out. If we inadvertantly triggered this bug it would not be a fun game for player 1. Maybe it's not a bad idea to verify that the suggested workaround actually works.

      yeah, I read the thread you were talking about...I'll test it and see if it happens to me, in case I'll try the workaround and eliminate player 1

      Random Civs sounds fair to me. Lets see who else joins.

              Cool, we're up to 4. I gotta call it quits for tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully we'll have one more player and can start it off!

                    OK, I'll get the game up and running. I got Platypus and Grandpa's email...and I can email John through the forum.

                    Syoris, can you provide an email account to play?

                        Sure Emperor, we can go with 6.

                        OK, an update on the situation:

                        PBEM doesn't allow me to load a scenario map (Earth), I tried to see if I can work around with world builder, but that's not an option in MP. So it looks like we're probably gonna have to go with a random Terra Map.

                        Also, I tried to reproduce the reported trading bug for player 1...but it seemed to work fine for me. I didn't go too far into it, but I was able to open borders with another player and give away a city.


                        If everyone is ok, we can all do random civs anyway.

                              Great, all I'm missing is Syoris' email.

                              If you get this message, Syoris, email me! Can't play without it!
